Do i flash current stock images or 5.1?

[Funkpod]

i was thinking that also, the only problem i believe is that being stuck on the lock screen, my command prompts ans wugfresh do not recognize my phone but i will try right now

I would use adb commands in a terminal, personally.

Sorry lol. I am going to post this in all four and end it here because i believe i fixed the problem.
Originally i was led to believe that I needed to flash the image in order to sideload the ota. i did not know that they were one and the same. Because of that, i am assuming that i loaded an update ontop up an update (yep lol i am a dumbass for that). When everyone here told me that they were the same thing, i simply went back into WugFresh and reflashed the 5.1 image. My phone is now up and running with the "About Phone" saying "Android 5.1".
I want to seriously thank everyone here for helping me out with this problem. I really could not have done it without you guys and it makes me proud to be a part of this great community! Thank you again for all your help and looking forward to helping others like you have helped me! Have a great sunday everyone!
